Well be sure to stick our asses in the air and wait for the next
attack so we can get your permission to go after the source next

The US was free from problems with Muslims since its founding until
9-11.

Not true.
Bin Laden alone made several attacks on the US and US overseas
embassies and military well before 9-11. Remeember the FIRST WTC
bombing,when CLINTON
was President? Or the two Embassy bombings or the USS Cole bombing?

A scan of the National Geographic back issues should give a
good idea good prevailing relationships that had existed through
time.

Oh,yeah,that's a -great- source for political data. (not!)


So what were the events that led to 9-11 that spawned the
current mess? Physically 9-11 did appear out of thin air.

No,it did not.Not considering the previous attacks,like WTC-bombing
#ONE.


But there
was a lot happening prior to that would cause a bunch of
technologically naive Arabs to learn enough to fly a plane and
crash them with deadly effect. You cannot defeat a billion of
angry muslims to prevent another attack. So you must work out a
political solution and neither going to war or building space age
defences is going to do it.

Going to war will turn Iraq to a democratic state,and already is
fostering democratic changes in other ME states.

But will it be a positive democratic state? If they elect an asshole
as their leader, then we are in just as bad a situation as before.
Eemocracy does not equal a positive result necssarily. Hey, we have a
Democracy here and look, it got us Bush as President.

Thankfully.
Otherwise,we would have surrendered to Islamic fanaticism shortly after
Kerry was elected.And surrendered to the UN,too.
